Quote:Not true. Gore buys carbon footprint offsets to compensate for the amount of energy his house uses.

Alright, that sheds a bit of light on the issue (no pun intended). He may compensate by paying for more energy, but if the problem were more urgent, he would find a way around high-class living. If Gore's jet emits greenhouse gases inefficiently, then why can't he fly by first-class? Still, good to hear that he's not so blatantly hypocritical about it. Reading about his energy-consumption was disconcerting.
Quote:Watch the movie first, before you say anything negative about it... this is Al Gore, not some random fearmonger, and he has been involved in global warming issues for a long time now.
I haven't and can't say anything negative about the film's actual content, but I can gain a reluctant impression based on the source and what I've heard about the film.
